Question

I'm currently working on a project where I have threads that handle user requests, I'm tring to find a way so when user send request I show some information about this user and the request on the main widget's status bar (on the server side) how can I do this?

You just need to call this method to show a message in the status bar:

void QStatusBar::showMessage(const QString &message, int timeout = 0)

This is also a slot, so you can also invoke it through a signal-slot connection if you like.

You will need to parse the data from your QTcpSocket before you can display what you want for sure. You need to connect to this signal for example:

void QIODevice::readyRead()
